Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.

Abortions and Birth Control

Where to start with this?

Firstly, men who say "Women who were irresponsible enough to be pregnant need to take responsibility." are idiots. A man helps to create a baby too. By that logic, a man should take responsibility for a baby too. If a woman is forced to raise a child that she doesn't want, then a man shouldn't be allowed to leave her while she's pregnant. And the quote "Women who were irresponsible enough to be pregnant need to take responsibility." doesn't even begin to touch on the topic of women who were raped, women who's partners slipped the condom out halfway through, women who's birth control failed. What if a woman's life is at risk with the pregnancy? Women have a heartbeat too. And people who say that women can just get their tubes tied are big fat uneducated morons.

Women have had experiences when they went to have their tube tied where their healthcare provider would ask things like "Oh, but what about your husband?" "Are you married?" "What if your husband wants kids?" "What if you regret it?" and are told things like "You're too young." "You'll regret it.". There are so many obstacles standing in the way of women trying to get their tubes tied compared to men getting a vasectomy. When women get their tubes tied, there are also hormonal side effects. When men get a vasectomy, there's NO hormonal side effects. But the hormones side of things is just basic biology, there's no arguing that. But, for whatever reason, birth control is pushed onto women. It only takes 24 hours to recover from a vasectomy whereas it takes 1 - 3 weeks to recover from getting your tubes tied. And yet, men will refuse vasectomies but pressure women to get their tubes tied or get a hysterectomy. And if a woman is pregnant, people only care while the baby is in her womb.

People don't care about the baby once a woman gives birth. A prime example of this is how pro lifers push for abortions to be banned because "A fetus is a human." And "Abortions are murder.". Like, bitch, a fetus is a ball of cells. They don't even have pain receptors until the fourth month of pregnancy. And how are abortions murder? And you only care about the baby while it's in the womb. Once it's out, you don't give a shit. If all lives matter, what about the black lives? What about the thousands of kids in foster care who are being raped and abused daily? No one bats an eye. If you really think all lives matter, then you should also help kids in foster care and homeless people. What about the people who can't afford a hospital or treatment for something such as cancer? What about them?

My opinion is: Abortions should be made widely accessible to women. It should be a woman's choice if she gets an abortion or not. She should not be denied basic healthcare.

What's your take on this? Do you think that they're murder? Do you think women should be allowed abortions? I want to know what you think. Tell me in the comments.

What about the mother? The mother who has already experienced so much, has so many people who care about her, has formed so many strong emotional bonds? And what about how DANGEROUS childbirth is? What about the physical and mental impacts? What if the woman's life is at risk? What if the woman was raped? How about if the woman cannot financially, psychologically, or physically, support herself and a child?

Are you really taking all the factors into consideration?

63% of children in the foster system are abused, and only 25% of the thousands of kids in there are adopted, with the abuse rates going up, and the adoption rates going down.

Sometimes, women don't have a choice.

I’ve been arguing with two people on Twitter on whether an unborn human is a “child” or not. They equate “child” to mean “person.” I give them definitions for child and offspring. They ignore and just tell me it’s not a child until they’re born or reached “gestational term.” People on Twitter are just so bad at arguing and logical thinking. I think I’ll just stick with Tumblr.

"If 50 men call one woman a ‘hoe’, you’ll believe it. If 50 women call a man a rapist, you find it questionable? Let’s think about this!” - Amber Rose, Via Instagram

MAGAs are arguing about not replacing LEAD Pipes? To prevent lead poisoning? Something that affects several people and can kill several people? Are they insane?

IMPORTANT

If you:

Are Pro Life

Think abortions should be illegal and are murder

Don't believe women should have control over their own bodies

Dislike or are prejudiced against women

Dislike or are prejudiced against men

Don't believe that men can be the victim of sexual assault or abuse

Blame rape on a woman

Think that women shouldn't be allowed a job

Think that women should stay at home

Are racist

Are homophobic

Are an Andrew Tate supporter

Then get tf out of here - YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE

If a lesbian can control herself in a locker room full of women in various states of undress, why can't a man control himself when he sees a fully clothed woman walking down the street? Why do we hold men and women to such different standards? Why are we so much more lenient with men? Why is it that women are taught the consequences? Why never men?

Things need to change. We can't keep going like this.

If trans people shouldn't have gender transition surgery because god made them the way they should be, then...

Shouldn't you not dye/bleach your hair?

Get tattoos?

Get piercings?

Use acrylic nails and nail polish?

Stop cherry picking to support what you want. Trans people are whatever gender they want to be. Pronouns are not the same thing as gender. Everyone uses pronouns.

"If men could get pregnant, abortion clinics would be like Starbucks. There would be two on each block and four in every airport. And the morning after pill would come in different flavors like sea salt and cool ranch." - Someone on Pinterest
